Long time no chat, need favor from 87-88 TC owner

Hey everyone, hope all is well!  My foxes are still doing good, but I also imported a 1983 Ford Sierra Ghia, and that's why I am back asking a tech question. 

X

There should be glass lenses next to the signal lights, those are Hella foglights. They APPEAR to be exactly like the Hella glass parts from an 87-88 Turbo Coupe. Can someone measure the dimensions of the glass so I can compare the two?  Finding a replacement for the Sierra is nearly impossible (it wasn't interchangeable with the Merkur) so I am hoping I can buy 87-88 assemblies and be on my merry way.

PRETTY PLEASE HELP!

You rock. I will measure the one intact lense I have and keep my fingers crossed.

It's usually a couple grand to import from Europe, but I got it for much less because my buddy in the USAF hooked me up.

I have it registered just like any other car, not a big deal provided you import an antique...over 25 years old.  If you do not, that's very, very challenging.
